The two vehicles are different enough that a hitch that fits one of them would not fit the other. So for the 2018 Cadillac XT5 you'd need the etrailer part # e62AR that you referenced. I attached and install video for this hitch on a very similar 2017 XT5 as yours for you to check out as well.
If you are in need of trailer wiring, you'd want the # 118720 as well. Install video attached for this too. view full answer...
For your 2023 Cadillac XT5 we have the etrailer hitch part # e62AR as a confirmed fit that would work great to carry your bike rack like our very easy to use Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z. It's a 2-inch hitch (the most popular size) that has great weight capacities and is mostly hidden since it sits behind the rear bumper fascia panel. It also has an attractive matte black finish on the portion that does shoe. It also installs very easy as well. view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13285 on your 2018 Cadillac XT5 will have a hitch pin center to outer bumper measurement of 6 inches. The Swagman XTC-2 # S64670 has a measurement from the center of the hitch pin to the closest wheel hoop of 8 inches. You will have 2 inches of clearance so you will be able to use the XTC-2 bike carrier with your Curt trailer hitch. view full answer...
For your 2017 Cadillac XT5 you'd need a hitch installed first like the Curt # C13285 so that you could carry an e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which has the weight capacity needed but what I also really like about this rack is that it has a ramp that pulls out to make loading the heavier e-bikes a bit easier. view full answer...
In order to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist part # TH898 on a 2018 Cadillac XT5 I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA118B-2, part # RRRCL4, part # RR32SV. This is an aero bar system that will provide you with the required overhang you need for the Hullavator. I also like Rhino-Rack a lot as they are much more affordable than some of the other top tier options but you don't miss any features, they in fact come with locks whereas these... view full answer...
The License Plate and Tail Light Relocation Kit # Y74VR is a very popular kit for many bike haulers. The kit is specifically designed to mount to the Yakima EXO System # Y82VR but it can also be used in other situations. You can choose to use the included mounting arms in either orientation if they will help you to bolt to your particular rack. They can also be bolted or attached directly to a cross bar on the back of the rack by using the mounting holes for the arms. The harness is plug... view full answer...
In regards to vehicles that have a trailer hitch - which would be put on at the factory - some of them can be removed, but some are welded on, and there is unfortunately no way for us to know which vehicles have welded hitches. Additionally, there is not a fit for a trailer hitch fit for a 2019 Cadillac XT5 Platinum which would allow you to replace it.
The roof rack is another story and that can be removed on a '19 XT5 Platinum. The roof rack on this vehicle (which I checked out and you... view full answer...
You can absolutely put the rear panel back on your 2023 Cadillac XT5 after installing the etrailer hitch that fits, which is the following part number:
- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR
This will make it so your Cadillac keeps its aesthetic so you only have to have it showing when you are using the hitch. view full answer...
That's a good catch, and when only carrying a pair of bikes, if you want to keep them secure it is definitely a good idea to add a separate cable lock to go with the Yakima BackRoad 4-Bike Rack # YA44FR.
The cable lock that comes integrated with the # YA44FR is for the fourth bike (furthest from the vehicle) so to secure just two bikes you can use a standard cable lock with a key, the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891, or if you don't want an extra key then go with a combination cable lock,... view full answer...
For your 2017 Cadillac XT5 with Class II trailer hitch I recommend the new Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT # TH92BJ. This rack is more versatile that its predecessor since Thule did away with the frame hooks and went to frame clamps instead which have more adjustability. This rack weighs 35 pounds. view full answer...
We do have two confirmed hitch fits for the 2017 Cadillac XT5 that you can see on the linked page. Both of the 2-inch Class III hitches we have for this vehicle, the etrailer # e62AR and the Curt # C13285, offer no-drill installation and include all required mounting hardware. An installation video is linked for you.
Trailer hitches are custom-fit items that usually are not interchangeable between vehicles. There are exceptions, such as with sister brands like GMC and Chevrolet, where... view full answer...
The 2017 Cadillac XT5's should all come with a tow package port regardless of options so the trailer wiring harness installs are all plug-in play, there is no physical battery connection. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118720 for 4-way or part # 118276 for 7-way. These will both plug into a port under the rear bumper. view full answer...
The etrailer Trailer Hitch # e62AR and the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13285 for your 2017 Cadillac XT5 are rated for capacity based only on the hitch, not the vehicle. You will be limited by the vehicle capacity, and not the capacity of the hitch. In this case, using either hitch with that large a trailer weight would void your warranty on the vehicle, but not the individual hitches. view full answer...
Yes, there is an exterior connector for the trailer wiring harness. Tekonsha has a Wiring Harness for your 2017 Cadillac XT5, part # 118720, that will provide a 4-way trailer connector for you.
If you already have a trailer hitch installed, like part # e62AR, the connection that you will be looking for is just up and to the driver's side of your 2017 Cadillac XT5. Just connect the wiring harness that I mentioned earlier and you are good to go!
I linked installation videos of the trailer... view full answer...
Yes, you can reinstall the rear fascia door on your 2017 Cadillac XT5 when not using the etrailer trailer hitch # e62AR. This is shown at the beginning of the video showing installation that I have linked for you.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage... view full answer...
You can adapt most Kuat racks with their Shank Adapter, part # D101. This will enlarge your shank from 1-1/4 inch to a 2 inch shank.
This adapter is compatible with the Alpha, Beta, NV 2.0, NV Base 2.0, Sherpa, and Sherpa 2.0 racks from Kuat. It is NOT compatible with the Kuat NV 1.0/Original bike racks. view full answer...
The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH83JV would fit the Curt hitch part # C13285 you have installed on your 2017 Cadillac XT5 well and would be an excellent bike rack to use. This is one of the nicest bike racks around that's very easy to install, load/unload, and secures the bikes in a way that only touches the tires instead of the bike frame. view full answer...
The Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20016 has a 0.453" diameter opening for a valve stem. Since you need up to 100psi I recommend using the Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem # AM20906. This stem being metal is less likely to become damaged like rubber valve stems.
The 5.70-8 Tires # AM10010(B), # AM10012(C) and # AM10013(D) we carry do require a 8" x 3-3/4" Wheel # AM20006. Other tire manufacturers may allow this same size tire to fit the wider wheel but I do not have a way to verify with every tire... view full answer...
You asked abou the "maximum height above the cross bar of the Inno # INBRM466BK Phantom." This cargo box sits right on the crossbar so there is no height above the cross bar. If you are asking about the height from the vehicle roof to the bottom of the cross bar - that would depend on the roof rails and cross rails used.
The interior measurements are not provided but the exterior dimensions are 78-3/4" long, 37-3/8" wide, and 17-3/4" tall. The case material is 2-ply and 3-ply ABS so... view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack # RR67QJ Cross rails no taller than the other choices. When you see them say "flush mount" it means the crossbars fit right into the feet without a portion going past the foot and sticking out sideways. Roof crossrails will generally be 3 to 4" above the roof of the vehicle to accommodate the clamping devices of different rooftop accessories. I am not aware of any lower height crossrails that attach directly to the roof. view full answer...
